Current implantable biomaterials often rely on synthetic or animal-derived polymers, which can be costly, poorly biocompatible, or environmentally unsustainable. There is growing interest in finding plant-based or fungal alternatives that meet the demanding requirements of medical-grade applications. Chinova Bioworks, a Canadian biotechnology company, specializes in producing chitosan from mushrooms for use in preservative applications. The […]

In today’s world, organizations such as banks, schools, and hospitals rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to help make important decisions, from assessing credit risk to detecting fraud. A new type of AI, called Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs), shows great promise for these kinds of tasks. Unlike traditional systems that require heavy retraining, TFMs can quickly […]

This project will help make it easier for scientists and data engineers to work with a powerful type of satellite data called hyperspectral imagery, which captures detailed information about the Earth’s surface. While this data can support important work in areas like climate, agriculture, and environmental monitoring, it’s often difficult to use without specialized training […]

La mission de PhonIA est d’aider les écoles, les orthopédagogues, les orthophonistes et les enseignants à mieux accompagner les élèves présentant des difficultés d’apprentissage. PhonIA a donc développé des outils automatisés de dépistage, d’évaluation et de suivi des difficultés d’apprentissage disponibles via une plateforme numérique. Ces outils permettent d’optimiser et d’améliorer les services professionnels. Les […]

Le projet vise à initier le développement d’un cadre méthodologique ESG que les organisations pourront utiliser pour mieux évaluer l’impact environnemental, éthique et social de leurs projets numériques, et qui pourrait être intégré dans l’outil d’évaluation des projets numériques de Prompt.

Principales activités du partenaire : L’entreprise offre des services de développement et d’exploitation de solutions informatiques. Problématique et avantages escomptés du projet : Le but de ce projet est d’inférer un profil psychométrique (OCEAN) à partir de questionnaires clients n’incluant pas de questions explicitement psychométriques. On recherchera également des variables contextuelles pertinentes pour enrichir les […]

Stratospheric balloons operate above more than 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, allowing astronomers to observe colours of light that would otherwise be blocked or blurred by the atmosphere at only a tiny fraction of the cost of an equivalent space telescope. However, it is very challenging to ensure that to telescopes are pointing the right […]

Vision-language models (VLMs) are considered augmentations of text-only large language models (LLMs) with additional access to the visual world. However, it is known that VLMs typically perform worse than text-only LLMs on reasoning tasks that involve only text (e.g., math word problems), raising the question of whether the benefits of visual augmentation justify the loss […]

Ventus Analytiques Inc. is a Canadian technology company specializing in offshore data systems and analytics, with a focus on marine environmental monitoring and renewable energy. As the company scales its operations and prepares for international deployments, there is a growing need for a cohesive cloud infrastructure and data operations strategy that can support a global […]

(2) Défis : Caswil accumule des données textuelles […]

Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light, air movement, CO2 and nutrient levels) are carefully monitored in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) to optimize indoor crop production. Irrigation management is prioritized to ensure nutrient availability to plants, water use efficiency, prevent plant nutrient diseases, maximize crop yield and boost desired phytochemical profiles for a given crop. Automated irrigation […]

This research investigates the fusion of multi-source geospatial data to overcome key scaling limitations in automated property assessment. The primary research problem addresses object occlusion in satellite imagery, where features can obscure ground-level surfaces and prevent accurate area measurement. We propose and evaluate a novel machine learning approach that geometrically fuses satellite imagery with ground-level […]
